When I finished the verical columns, I pressed each horizontal column, and pinned each side of the stitching line. I worked slower, telling myself it was beautiful, I would love it, put Enya on the radio, and it doesn't look too bad,. Now I can hand quilt in the border triangles. As for the wine idea, I would be afraid to start. We make wine and have a cellar full. (You might never have heard from me again) Thanks for all of your help..
Oooh- can I come and quilt at your place?! Glad to hear that you're enjoying yourself and are pleased with your results. I've been making progress too. Last week I stippled a quilt, and the results weren't too bad, and now I'm doing loop-the-loop on a Christmas wall hanging. I'm using very different threads this time, but I've managed to find a tension that works. This is such a breakthrough for me. And I'm enjoying it too!
